No headlights or tail lights

i have an 86 camaro and the headlights, tail lights, and marker lights are not working. all of the interior lights, the turn signals, four ways, and brake lights work. i replaced the headlight switch and the dimmer switch still clicks when the high and low beam are switched back and forth. i also replaced the fusible link. anybody have any ideas what could be causing this? should i go ahead and change the dimmer switch?

Making Headway

Using a voltmeter or test light (the type for testing for voltage, not a continuity tester) probe the 12 AWG red wire going to the headlight switch.

Is there power there?

Now, put the switch in the headlights on position.

Probe the
yellow wire at the switch.

Is there power there?


Happy Racing!
